MAD
TRIUMPH
E
L TOUR
Won 48 Games, Lost Eight and
One Was Draw on Trip
. Through 22 States.
MUCH ADVERTISING DONE
One of Conditions of Tour Was That
Oregon Literature Should Be Dis
tributed at Each Ga me Played.
Treated Well Everywhere. ' y
For over three months it has been in
teresting reading from day to day that
the "Oregons" basketball team had been
victorious over some crack Eastern team
or other by a very heavy score, for 48
times a victory was recorded, there were
eight defeats and one game "was a, draw.
That is- the record of the greatest trav
eling athletic organization that has ever
been sent out of Oregon, and when it is
realized that the world-beating team
came from the little up-valley town of
Dallas, there ta some reason for wonder.
At any rate that was somewhat of the
feeling raised in the minds of some of
the thousands of Easterners who have
watched the "Pride of Dallas" beat all
comers on theirtour. Last year the
team was known as Dallas College, and
under that title won the championship
of the Oregon gtate League. When the
idea of a tour was first mooted it was
enthusiastically taken up by Dallas'
business men, who raised an emergency
fund of J2000 to cover the expenses, un
der the condition that the team was to
distribute Oregon literature at the doors
of their game courts and do all in their
power to boost the Dallas country. The
team fulfilled all the requirements and
made as good, if not a better tour than
any basketball traveling five has ever
done before from the point of view of
clean, healthy play, management and
sportsmanship.
Team Has Jjost Money.
Although the trip of the team to date
has resulted in a net loss of about 11200,
it is believed that the majority of this
sum will be raised by games to be
played in and around Dallas, In order
that the team may break even without
having recourse to the emergency fund.
The trip has extended over 10,000 miles
and consumed nearly three- months.
Starting December 14 last, Oregon soil
was touched again on March 8.
The boys describe the people they met
as being a very fine crowd. There were
some bad, and the bad ones were "'very
ragged indeed," as a member of the team
expressed It. None of the team seemed
inclined to stay in any Eastern city and
generally seemed to be more than con
tent with Oregon. They say that they
never saw a city ahead of Portland for
either business or cleanliness. As be
tween the management and the players,
the games were very satisfactory. There
were none of the little hitches that
usually mar trips of this nature and
from the first game at Ellensburg,
Wash., to the last at the Multnomah
Club Thursday, every one was satisfied.
On their return to Oregon they were
warmly entertained at Ashland by the
basketball enthusiasts there and in fact
they say that at Ashland they had the
best time of the tour. The Multnomah
Club team was another bunch of sports
men who knew how to do the right
thing and did it. The neat little supper
given to the victors by the losers at the
Perkins lost none of its geniality by rea
son of the fact that the Multnomah play
ers gloried In the fact that they had
been beaten by an Oregon team.
Play in 2 States,
The qutnteet played in 22 different
states and never played more than five
games in any one state. Five games
were played in both Iowa and Ohio and
four in Montana, three of the latter
games being at Billings.
The "Oregons" scored 1962 points, as
against 891 put up by their opponents, or
nearly 3 to 1. The greatest number of
points scored In any one game svas at
Billings', where the Billings Athletic Club
bit the dust to the tune of 97 to 8, while
at Ellensbure. Wash.. th "nimn"
a 57 to 3 victory. The smallest number
Bcorea was ai .Detroit, against
the Detroit Athletic Club, 2-0 being the
result of the contest.
The Oregons traveled in a party of 10,
consisting of C. B. Fenton and N. F.
Reed, forwards; E. Shaw, the star cen
ter: A. R. TortoTi a-nA r T. av.-
guards; L. Rice and B. A. Teats, for
wards, and T. Savery, general utility
man. B. A. Teats was playing manager
and E. Shaw captain, while H. L. Fen-
iuii Ym uusiness manager. Mr. Fenton
also took his wife along.

NOT COUNTED OUT
Gans and Young Corbett Come
to Life Once More.
RESURRECTED IN GOTHAM
Interesting Gossip About How Many
"Has Beens" of Ring Fame Poke
Heads Out of Graves and
Shout "Ad Sum."
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
"Who said prizefighters never come back
after being defeated decisively? Who
ever he was he must have reckoned with
out Joe Gans and Toungr Corbett, for both
of them have re-entered the rin before
the Gotham sports who seem to have
successfully solved the lid question as far
as the boxing game la iconcerned. At any
rate New York is enjoying boxing
matches and the Anthony Comstocks. Dr.
Parkhursts and the balance of the purity
brigade must like or lump it.
Friday night '-Old Joe" Gans, the hero
of three battles with Battling (etc) Nel
son, and who was decisively beaten In the
last two, and probably lost the first one
also, though declared the winner, came
back to life by trimming Jabes White, the
Britisher who once upon a time gained
some little fame by meeting James Ed
ward Brltt of ulna bone fame. And the
deponent who set forth the performances
of the principals Friday night saith noth
ing about the use of the new prize ring
regenerator, oxygen. This is strange, for
.Young Corbett. "Unk" Russell,, and a few
more "has beens" have been enabled to
come back by the use of this new re
vlvlfler, and why shouldn't Gans do like
wise? Joe, however, during his long term of
ring experience, was often referred to as
being catlike in possessing nine lives, and
this is probably only the sixth or seventh
life he is experiencing.
At any rate New York is being inflicted
with his efforts and for that reason we
should be thankful. The scraps are far
enough away to make us feel joyful in
the fact that the lid is still on.
.
"Tis tuff," said an old sport the other
day while commenting on the new lease
of life given the fighting game in New
York," It Is indeed, when de guys of de
big burg can have dere scraps and get a
good run for dere money, and 'cause we
live out here in dis sanctimonious wllllge
we've got to go to Sunday school or see
a bum wrestling bout in order to stir up
our siuggisn blood. -Tls tuft, 'tis1 tuff.
and with a deprecating shake of the
grizzled head the old eport ambled on
his way. But the old fellow fails to rec
ollect that with very few exceptions there
are no fighters worth seeing these days.
Still the fans are so hungry for some
thing in that line that they would flock
to a match between Jack Munroe and
Bill Squires, the premier adornments in
the lemon hall of fame.
Somebody must have cut the Btring to
the scrapping balloon down California
way, for we have not been satiated with
the details of a meritorious scrap for
sundry moons. Can it be that the glorious
nstlc game of which Jeems Coffreth, et
ai., nave boasted of for many years has
gone by the board, or any other old way?
It would seem so. or else the lemon crop
has been so sadly depleted, by the re
opening of the sport in New York that
they cannot organize a committee of two
to pummel each other for a few in
tervals. Even Los Angeles., the "City of
Angels" and a few "wise ones," has not
had a scrap for a week at least. .Per
haps the citizens of the Golden State are
too busily engaged In picking the few
remaining winners at the racetracks be
fore the lid on that branch is damned on.
This seems like a reasonable solution.
Everybody buys dope sheets in California.
John L. Sullivan has snotte1 s
youngster whom he thinks possesses great
ability. This chap is named O'Donnell
and is now living at Seattle, which Is
the only bad thing we know about him.
Jack Murphy, the former St. Paul boxing
instructor and promoter, also thinks well
of O'Donnell, and it may be that the
young fellow is there. If he is taken up
and properly encouraged it may be that
a match with Al Kaufman or Jim Barry
may serve to demonstrate Just how much
ability he possesses. According to Sul
livan, Trainer Mike Murphy and other
expert?, w
OREGOX KEXiAV TEAM WTX9
IJefeats O. A. C. In Five-Mile Race
at Eugene.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene
March 13. (Special.) In spite of the
gloomy outlook for track athletes at Ore
gon this year, the season opened with
rush this afternoon, when the Oregon
relay team defeated decisively a team
from their old rival. Oregon Agricultural
College. Great enthusiasm prevails among
the students on the campus tonight.
Oregon's winning team was composed of
Reynolds, Downs, Davis, Garrabrandt and
Riddell, three of them freshmen. On the
Oregon Agricultural College team were
Brown, Howard, Boulan, Watson and
Cross. The race, the first intercollegiate
contest of its kind on the Pacific Coast,
was over a five-mile course around
Kincald field, each man running a mile.
Oregon led from the crack of the pistol
and was never headed, Riddell, the last
man, breaking the tape half a lap ahead
of Cross for Oregon Agricultural College.
A peculiar feature of the race was the
fact that it was held on the 13th of the
month, Oregon's luck day. The time as
given out by Trainer "Bill" Hayward
was 24:So.
March 26, an Indoor track meet will be
held here to try out some of Oregon's
freshmen track material.

OTOXNEU; SEEKS GO WITH WAR
EAGLE II.
Rough In Methods, but Multnomah
Man Does Not Fear Him Match
With Tremblay Walts .
Eddie O'Connell is endeavoring to
get a match with War Eagle II, a full-
blooded Onondaga Indian, who is now
attracting considerable attention by
his feats on the mat In the Eastern
States. This Indian is not the old War
Eagle who wrestled In the days of Joe
Acton. Muldoon and the other veterans,
but Is a young fellow who is a gradu
ate of one of the Indian schools in the
East. He is said to be fast, speedy and
somewhat rough wrestler, but as he
weighs 151 pounds, being close to
O'Connell's weight, the latter Is anx
ious to take him on for a match on
March 25. This date was originally set
for Eugene Tremblay, but this clever
grappler is tied up with several
matches In the Middle West, and has
requested O'Connell to reserve the
April date for him, which will be done.
In the meantime O'Connell has heard
from the manager of War Eagle and
expects to line that wrestler up for
the coming date.
The Indian wrestler should prove
one of the hardest propositions O'Con
nell has yet been up against, and it is
expected that he will prove a strong
drawing card. Until the War Eagle
proposition was broached to O'Connell
he had been prepared to arrange a
match with Carl Busch, a light heavy
weight wrestler from Germany, who
claims the championship of that divi
sion In his native land. This man had
been more or less successful in the
Eastern and New England States last
year, and frequently challenged O'Con
nell to a handicap match in which he
agrees to throw the Multnomah Club
instructor three times in one hour.
O'Connell has always been willing to
take him on, but his dates in the East
last year prevented him arranging a
satisfactory date. At that time O'Con
nell was an instructor at Yale Univer
sity and had but little leisure time on
his hands. Since O'Connell took up
wrestling in Portland, Busch has been
howling for a match, but if the bout
with War Eagle comes through, he
will be disappointed for some time be
cause O'Connell expects to meet Trem
blay after the bout scheduled for
March 25. for that is the date set for
either the Indian or the German. In
either event the wrestling fans can
expect a good match.
Con Albright and Dan Sullivan are
working out for their match, which
takes place next Tuesday night at Mer
rill's Hall. Both men are feeling fit
for the bout, and each expresses confi
dence in his ability to win. Albright
is especially anxious to score, for he
believes that a victory will eventually
Insure him a return match with O'Con
nell. who recently defeated him in one
of the prettiest matches ever seen in
the Northwest.
Albright is delighted ' with the
weather conditions now prevailing, for
he says that what he needs to condi
tion himself is road work, and the sun
shine makes this branch of training
possible. He says he will wager a neat
sum on himself, and seems confident
of victory. 1

CHUMPS WILL MEET
Wrestlers Hold Tournament
Here Monday, April 19.
CLUB AGAINST PULLMAN
Tourney Will Be Firs-t Given Over
Solely to Best Grappling Game
Ever Held Under Direc
tion of Winged M.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
The first all-wrestling tournament in the
history of the Multnomah Amateur Athle
tic Club will take place at the club gym
nasium Monday night. April 19. when the
wrestlers of the Washington State Col
lege. Of Pullman. Will rtlO.t tVlA
of the local club in a championship meet.
tvresuers at seven different weights will
be entered by both organizations, and this
programme should produce some very
clever matches. Instructor Eddie OXon
nell has developed a number of speedy
Brappiers among me ciud members and
all of them are anxious to secure a cham
nlonshlD id. The welirhta f ih. Arrt
matches are announced as follows: 115,
12a. 135 to 146, 156, light-heavy and heavy
weights. In the first named division, Multnomah
will be represented by Mills, the clever
little 116-pound grappler who made such a
good showing at the Pacific Northwest
boxing and wrestling tourney last May
when he competed under the colors of the
Portland Y. M. C. A.
Hughes In 135-Pound Class.
At 125 pounds, the Multnomah Club
will be represented by Bud Hughes, who
was the only member of the club team
to score a win at the recent lnterclub
tourney with the Spokane Amateur
Athletic Club at Spokane. Hughes is a
clever little wrestler and can be depended
upon to make a good showing.
The entry for the 135-145 pound class has
not yet been decided upon because Mult
nomah has a big class in this division
and all of the tryouts have not yet been
held. Franske, Swlnney.- Dr. Tuttle and
others are trying out at this weight, and
the rivaliV between the lads in this class
is most keen.
The feature event of the night will be
the match between Edgar B. Frank, of
the Multnomah. Club, and the 158-pound
entry from Washington State Colleger
Edgar Frank is to take on the big fellow
with all seriousness, for he is confident
that he can defeat all amateurs of that
weight or under in the Northwest. If he
scores on the big Pullman man. he will
undoubtedly seek another match with
Virgil Venables, the Seattle Athletic
Club's clever welterweight.
In the light-heavyweight division, Mult
nomah has two men available for entry,
Vinson and Ferris. Both are rated as
clever men at present, and they will be

Ed C. Johnson, the old reliable mar

of the club against the "VVoehlnicton heavy
weight. Johnson is a good wrestler, but
heretofore has not had much of an op
portunity at defending his title because
of the lack of amateur heavyweight
wrestlers In the Northwest. However, the
recent revival of the wreatltng game
seems to have given this branch of aport
an Impetus that has caused all of the In
stitutions of the Northwest to revive it.
The reault has been that matches can
how be arranged at almost any weight

The Washington State College is one of
the most progressive institutions from an
athletic point of view in thta section of
the country. It has always had the
faculty of placing good teams in the field

more popular each Winter, it has taken
up the new. or rather newly revived,
games enthusiastically.
